THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF BEEF CATTLE

Grazing cattle are an integral part of the grassland ecosystem and play an important role in nutrient recycling. Pasture lands are important stores of carbon and provide habitat to many species at risk, as well as preservation of wetlands that otherwise may be subject to cultivation. Production of cattle in feedlots lowers the carbon footprint of beef and increases the efficiency of beef production. As with any food production system, there is an environmental footprint associated with beef production. The beef footprint has implications for greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient cycling, water and air quality, carbon stores, and preservation of grassland ecosystems. Through long-term research and implementation of best practices, the beef industry has reduced the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by some 15% since the 1980s.

THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE BEEF INDUSTRY

More than one billion dollars in cattle sales occur every year in Saskatchewan. The industry supports not only cattle operators but also its direct employees and a large service sector. We are the second-largest beef-producing province (after Alberta) and approximately 14,000 producers raise beef cattle in Saskatchewan.​
